Try and get a ride on a standard SV, you will soon realise that front suspension is important

yeah, my yellow one is completely standard, its like riding a bone shaker!!
The black one has ohlins progressive springs and heavier oil in them and it is a great improvement. i should imagine the gsxr front end is better still

Suspension over all is very important, without it going round corners and breaking would be hard!
the better the suspension and the set up of the supension the better the ride will be.
The stock front SV suspension isnt very good. You can improve it by changing the springs and puting in heavier oil or by putting in a complete new front end off a GSRX which is even better. Thats what you have and i want

hope that clears it up a bit for you.

With that spec, it'll blow up soon!

I must insist you sell the bike to me for £50, to save you the misery of being blown up....
